vba - Msg if box if checked - but not if unchecked - vba

I am trying to write code for a message to pop up if a checkbox is checked. My spreadsheet has a LOT of checkboxes, and I only want it to do this for the checkboxes in column H. I believe the best way may be to assign a macro to all checkboxes using vba using something like the following code (Except this is not working):
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("h9:h89")).Select
Selection.OnAction = "Sheet4.Checkbox"
The second problem I have is that I only want the message to pop-up when it is checked, not when it is unchecked. The following works when the macro is assigned mannually, but for both checking and unchecking. The commented out sections are examples of some of the things I have tried. I believe they are ActiveX checkboxes.
Sub Checkbox()
' Dim rangeVar As Range
'
' rangeVar = ("h9:h89")
'
'With rangeVar
' If WorksheetFunction.Or(.Cells) = True Then
MsgBox ("Are you sure you want to check this box?")
Exit Sub
' End If
'End With
' Dim chk As Checkbox
'
' For Each chk In rangeVar
' If chk.Value = True Then
' MsgBox ("Are you sure you want to check this box?")
' Exit Sub
' End If
' Next chk
End Sub
Thank you!

Assigning the action:
Sub AssignClicks()
Dim cb
For Each cb In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
If Not Application.Intersect(cb.TopLeftCell, _
ActiveSheet.Range("H:H")) Is Nothing Then
cb.OnAction = "Sheet1.ClickedIt"
End If
Next cb
End Sub
In the sheet code module:
Sub ClickedIt()
Dim cb As CheckBox
Set cb = Me.CheckBoxes(Application.Caller)
If cb.Value = 1 Then
MsgBox "checkbox at " & cb.TopLeftCell.Address() & " is checked"
End If
End Sub
...or you can assign the action to all of your checkboxes and use code in ClickedIt to determine whether the current checkbox is in Col H.

Catia VBA Automation Error Run-Time 80010005 - Selection ERROR

I have a Problem with my Userform. It should automatically Switch to another TextBox when an selection in the catpart made. I get the Automation Error: It is illegal to call out while inside message filter.
Run-time error '-2147418107 (80010005)

sel.Clear
UserFormNow.Controls("Textbox" & i).SetFocus

First you have to know that when you use an UI and still want to interact with CATIA, you have to choices:
Launch the UI in NoModal: mode UserFormNow.Show 0
Hide the UI each time you want to interact with CATIA: Me.Hide or UserFormNow.Hide
Then, I strongly recommend you to avoid looking for items with names:
UserFormNow.Controls("Textbox" & i).SetFocus
If you want to group controls and loop through them, use a Frame and then use a For Each loop.
For Each currentTextBox In MyFrame.Controls
MsgBox currentTextBox.Text
Next
Regarding your code, many simplifications can be done:
Private Sub Auswahl_Click()
Dim sel As Object
Dim currentTextBox As TextBox
Dim Filter As Variant
ReDim Filter(0)
Filter(0) = "Body"
Set sel = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
'Loop through each textbox
For Each currentTextBox In MyFrame.Controls
sel.Clear
'Ask for the selection and test the result at the same time
If sel.SelectElement2(Filter, "Wahle ein Body aus...", False) = "Normal" Then
'Get the name without saving the object
currentTextBox.Text = sel.Item2(1).Value.Name
Else
'allow the user to exit all the process if press Escape
Exit Sub
End If
Next
sel.Clear
End Sub

(Excel Userform) Check if all checkboxes in a Userform are checked

Never tried UserForm checkboxes before so I don't even know how to point to the Checkboxes in a Userform.
This is what I have at the moment....and I know, I know, it is completely wrong. Please help?
Private Sub Step1_Confirm_Click()
Dim i As Byte
Dim Done As Boolean
For i = 1 To 4
If Step1_(i).value = True Then
Done = True
End If
Next i
If Not Done = True Then
MsgBox "Please make sure you have done all"
End If
End Sub
Basically I have:
A Userform called IOSP_Acc_R_Approval_Step1
4 checkboxes called Step1_1; Step1_2; Step1_3; Step1_4
A button called Step1_Confirm
I want the button to show Error, if not all checkboxes are checked - meaning that all checkboxes have to be checked....(in case my English is too bad to convey my meaning)
Try the code below (explanations inside the code as comments):
Private Sub Step1_Confirm_Click()
Dim i As Long
Dim Ctrl As Control
' loop through all user_form control
For Each Ctrl In IOSP_Acc_R_Approval.Controls
If TypeName(Ctrl) = "CheckBox" Then ' check if control type is Check-Box
If Ctrl.Value = True Then ' check if check-box is checked
i = i + 1
End If
End If
Next Ctrl
If i < 4 Then ' not all 4 check-boxes are checked
MsgBox "Please make sure you have done all"
End If
End Sub
You can do this by:
assume that all checkboxes are checked by setting a flag to True
iterate the checkboxes and if one is not checked set the flag to False and exit
at the end of the loop, if all checkboxes were checked then the flag is still True
You can refer to the checkboxes dynamically by using the Me.Controls collection and pass in the name of the checkbox like "Step1_" & i.
Example code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Step1_Confirm_Click()
Dim i As Long '<-- use Long, not Byte
Dim blnResult As Boolean
' set a flag to assume that it is true that all checkboxes are checked
blnResult = True
' get the value of each check box
For i = 1 To 4
If Me.Controls("Step1_" & i).Value = False Then
blnResult = False
Exit For '<-- skip loop if at least one box not checked
End If
Next i
' check the value of the flag
If blnResult = False Then
MsgBox "Please make sure you have done all"
Else
' all boxes checked ...
MsgBox "All checked"
End If
End Sub
Done=true
For i = 1 To 4
Done = Done*Step1_(i).value
Next i
if done `then`
msgbox "All checkboxes are checked"
end if

Select / unselect all CheckBoxes in a range EXCEL VBA macro

I am creating a VBA macro to select all checkboxes in a sheet and it works fine but now i want to adjust my code to select and unselect just the checkboxes in a particular range.
Here is my code.
Sub Select_all()
Dim Cbox As CheckBox
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet4").Range("B7, B104")
For Each Cbox In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
If Not Intersect(Cbox.TopLeftCell, Rng) Is Nothing Then
If Cbox.name <> ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Check Box 104").name Then
Cbox.Value = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Check Box 104").Value
End If
End If
Next Cbox
End Sub
I added
If Not Intersect(Cbox.TopLeftCell, Rng) Is Nothing
but it doesn't change anything, and when i remove this part then it selects all the checkboxes in the sheet and i need only for the Range("B7:B104")
Any suggestions please ? Thank you very much.
This works for me. But I changed the cb# to "1" because I don't have 104 of them on my test sheet. Any cb's in range B7:B104 will be changed to the value of cb1, which you can change to cb104 in your script.
Sub Link_Checkboxes_To_Cells()
Dim cBox As CheckBox
For Each cBox In Sheet1.CheckBoxes
If Not Intersect(cBox.TopLeftCell, Range("B7:B104")) Is Nothing Then
If cBox.Name <> ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Check Box 1").Name Then
cBox.Value = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Check Box 1").Value
End If
End If
Next cBox
End Sub

There are a few reasons why the above code doesn't work for you. I'll try to list them.
The above code works for "Form Control" checkboxes - Not ActiveX type checkboxes. You would need a different code for ActiveX checkboxes. Or you may not have a form checkbox named "Check Box 1". But I think that would give you an error. Or your other checkboxes may not be in the Range("B7:B104"). You can try changing that to Range("A1:Z10000") to insure your checkboxes are in the range.
If you are not sure what type checkboxes you have then you can run the following code to find their names and what type of control they are, either form or activex. It will print the info in your immediate window of the VB editor.
Sub CheckboxLoop()
'PARTIAL SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com/the-code-vault
Dim cb As Shape
'Loop through Form Checkboxes
For Each cb In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If cb.Type = msoFormControl Then
If cb.FormControlType = xlCheckBox Then
Debug.Print "Form Control: " & cb.Name
End If
End If
Next cb
'Loop through ActiveX Checkboxes
Dim ChkBx As OLEObject
For Each ChkBx In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
If TypeName(ChkBx.Object) = "CheckBox" Then
Debug.Print "ActiveX Control: " & ChkBx.Name
End If
Next ChkBx
End Sub
Sorry to resurrect an old post, but I hate it when a solution has not been provided and I know the answer, which is seldom. Thank you, this helped me on a project I am currently working on.
If you're like me, I change all my Sheet Names for sake of clarity.
For Each cBox In Sheet1.CheckBoxes
This line in John Muggins code limits you to the Sheet Name, "Sheet1".
I was able to change the line to...
For Each cBox In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
...and it worked perfectly.

Reference checkbox name/value in a subroutine

Is there a way to pass a checkbox value from a userform? I've seen it done when the checkbox is on the worksheet but I haven't been able to get it to work when it comes from my userform.
I have several repeating if statements and the only difference between them is the name of the checkbox. I'm sure there's a simple fix that I just haven't found yet. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: included code
If LockboxCheckBox.Value = True Then
If IsEmpty(wsInput.Cells(emptyRow, productCol)) Then
wsInput.Cells(emptyRow, productCol).Value = LockboxCheckBox.Caption
Else: wsInput.Cells(emptyRow, productCol).Value = wsInput.Cells(emptyRow, productCol).Value & ", " & LockboxCheckBox.Caption
End If
End If
I want to make this a small subroutine and need to pass the checkbox.value as well as the checkbox.caption to it when I call it.
The following code example demonstrates how to pass a Checkbox control on a UserForm to another procedure, get the checkbox's value and caption, and do something with them.
Note that I choose to pass the checkbox, rather than the value and caption as two parameters, as this will reduce the amount of code you need to type.
Private Sub btnOK_Click()
Dim chk As MSForms.CheckBox
Set chk = Me.CheckBox1
ProcessCheckBox chk
ProcessCheckBox Me.CheckBox2
End Sub
Sub ProcessCheckBox(chk As MSForms.CheckBox)
Dim chkVal As Boolean
Dim chkCap As String
chkVal = chk.value
chkCap = chk.Caption
If chkVal = True Then
Debug.Print chkCap & " is true"
Else
Debug.Print chkCap & " is false"
End If
End Sub

Excel - Returning the caption of the selected option button

Probably a silly question with a simple answer but I am a real novice when it comes to userforms.
I have "Frame 3" with 5 different option buttons (Dest1, Dest2, Dest3, Dest4, Dest5) After an option is selected, where is the caption value of the selected option stored? How can I access that with vba.
Thank you,
Josh
Here's just some example code you can use. Add your Option Buttons to groups, and then you can go from there. I used groups since you had multiple frames, and you can check based on group, and have multiple groups, and check which one's selected for each group.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim x As Control
' Loop through ALL the controls on the UserForm.
For Each x In Me.Controls
' Check to see if "Option" is in the Name of each control.
If InStr(x.Name, "Option") Then
' Check Group name.
If x.GroupName = "Grp1" Then
' Check the status of the OptionButton.
If x.Value = True Then
MsgBox x.Caption
Exit For
End If
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
You can also access the option buttons through the frame-ojbect that holds them (if you have other frames and controls you don't want to go through):
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim oCtrl As Control
'***** Try only controls in Frame3
For Each oCtrl In Frame3.Controls
'***** Try only option buttons
If TypeName(oCtrl) = "OptionButton" Then
'***** Which one is checked?
If oCtrl.Value = True Then
'***** What's the caption?
Debug.Print "You have checked option " & oCtrl.Caption
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
The Label Text associated with an Option Button is obtainable by using OptionButton1.Caption
If you are using a loop, just substitute the OptionButton1 with your variable for option buttons and it will pull through the one you need when conditions are met. eg:
For xitem = 1 To 5
xFrm = "OptionButton" & xitem
For Each fItem In Me.Controls
If fItem.Name Like xFrm Then
If fItem.Value Then
k = fitem.Caption
End If
End If
Next fItem
Next xitem
In my case, I wanted the caption of the toggle that was selected in an option group to be passed on to a subform filter. e.g. choosing toggle "black" filters subform to all cars where strColour = "black".
I ended up with this:
Private Sub OptionGroupName_Click()
Dim Caption As String
Caption = OptionGroupName.Controls.Item(OptionGroupName.Value - 1).Caption
Me.SubformName.Form.Filter = "[SubformField] = """ & Caption & """"
Me.SubformName.Form.FilterOn = True
End Sub
Not to dog pile on everyone else's options but I created a function that takes the radio group name and spits out the selected radios coresponding label caption. Was using it in Access not Excel.
Only works provided you name your controls similarly....
i.e. (lblRadioButton1 & optRadioButton1)
Function GetSelectedRadioButtonCaption(ByVal optionGroupName As OptionGroup) As String
Dim oCtrl As Control
Dim oCtrl2 As Control
Dim optionLabelName As String
Dim optionLabelObject As Label
Dim optionButtonObject As OptionButton
For Each oCtrl In optionGroupName.Controls
'***** Try only option buttons
If TypeOf oCtrl Is OptionButton Then
'***** Which one is checked?
Set optionButtonObject = oCtrl
If optionButtonObject.OptionValue = optionGroupName.Value Then
'***** What's the caption?
optionLabelName = Replace(oCtrl.Name, "opt", "lbl")
For Each oCtrl2 In optionGroupName.Controls
If oCtrl2.Name = optionLabelName Then
Set optionLabelObject = oCtrl2
GetSelectedRadioButtonCaption = optionLabelObject.caption
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
If GetSelectedRadioButtonCaption <> "" Then
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
Exit_GetSelectedRadioButtonCaption:
End Function
